i am living
i am dying
i am in the twenty first century, gregorian calendar
time is a continuum
i am in jazan
space is relative
i am keralite, malayali, south indian, proud to be indian
now i know only english
and don’t seem to think of state,zone or nation as being anything so very significant or great any more as to live and/or die for it
i belong to a religion, an ity
but all religions are false
and i belong to all and/or none
and political parties and ideologies
fascinate me
they bore the s*** out of me
i hate women
yet can’t live without them
family, marriage; not for me
like any typical indian mcp
happily married with kids am i
i claim i don’t want fame, money, wealth, assets, power, influence
love, attention
but no sooner does someone get it and not i, and i
get so terribly worked up
i am human
only too human
now i’m post human
inhuman
subhuman
super and supra
inter and intra
anti human
non human
cognitive dissonance, how i love thee!
Lively and philosophically incisive. I think the poem and its use , in the main , of short lines would make it a suitable live performance work.
ty louis!
I want to destroy my self and live for eternity… A poem that explains and contradicts itself, leaving the reader in a no man’s land, forced to think it out. A great poem.
Agree with Reena. A commendable write.
ty reena and gopal 🙂
